The drama is created by British rapper, record producer and filmmaker Rapman (Blue Story), and features Eric Kofi Abrefa, who played fan favorite Lamar on BMF. Tosin Cole (61st Street and Till) also stars.
The drama follows five people who suddenly develop superpowers. They have little in common except they’re all Black South Londoners. It’s down to one man (Tosin Cole) to bring them together and save the woman he loves.
Here’s the official description, “A regular group of people are unexpectedly gifted with super powers. Before the group really get a chance to figure out how to use their powers, they find their new special abilities have made them targets for the powerful agency who created them.”
The cast also includes Nadine Mills as Sabrina; Calvin Demba as Rodney; Josh Tedeku as Tazer; Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne; Rayxia Ojo as Sharleen; Giacomo Mancini as Spud; and Eddie Marsan as Ray.
British rapper and songwriter Ghetts recently joined the cast in the role of Krazy.
